I've seen this product in the bottle and breastfeeding aisle at Target a few times last year, and now I'm getting more questions about it in my breastfeeding classes. The first time I saw the Momsense Breastfeeding Meter red flags were going off in my head. It's not because I don't think technology has a place in breastfeeding or that technology hinders breastfeeding; quite the contrary, breastfeeding apps can encourage mothers! I highly recommend downloading a breastfeeding app to ensure both breasts are being stimulated for high milk production in the first month of baby's life, and for counting diapers as insurance that your baby is getting enough. These apps are so great for moms!! The apps....not a "meter".

So happy to see an IBCLC write an informative post explaining why a product like Momsense can actually mask other issues in breastfeeding, and even possible interfere with the helpful assistance from a local IBCLC, CLC or Peer Lactation Counselors (like myself!).
